When I first bought the Salton Rice Cooker, I had to be careful measuring the rice in the cup that came with the rice cooker. The rice cooker can cook up to three cups of cooked rice. This amount is less then that of most measuring cups. Additionally, while I cooked the rice in the rice cooker exactly according to the instructions in the instruction manual, the rice still stuck to the bottom of the metal container that you cook the rice in.

So, I called the maker of the rice cooker. I was told that if I should take a cooking spray such as Pam, and to first spray the cooking spray in the container that the rice cooks in, this should greatly reduce the chances of the rice sticking. Additionally, the customer service representative told me that if I should add a bit more(but not too much more) water then the instructions indicate, that this would make the rice a lot fluffier.

Concerning cleaning up the Salton Rice Cooker, I have found that because of the steam that is always coming...

faerieflr says "Absolutly perfect for our families needs" about Salton RA3 3-Cup Rice Cooker

We only use this for our white rice needs, never for veggies of any kind. We eat rice at least once a week, usually more. This is the perfect, small, easy cooker for us. Doesn't take up too much counter space. The bowl and lid can go into the dishwasher!!! It's last a long time too. We have had this for a few years now and it works just fine. Nothing flashy here!

This 3-cup rice maker is perfect for a couple or someone on their own. Fill it with

rice and water and forget about it while you're doing other things. It always comes

out perfect after turning itself off, a feature that I love. I don't know how I got along

without it before!

This was what I was looking for when I needed a rice cooker that wouldn't give me a whole lot of leftovers. It's hard to find small ones, but this one did the job just right! The Salton RA3 3 cup rice cooker is my definite recommendation for someone who hates trying to cook their own rice. This will do it perfectly for you and you won't have to worry about a thing! It works like a true charm!...

chavatziporah says "The salton 3 cup rice cooker is good, but not great" about Salton RA3 3-Cup Rice Cooker

The Salton 3 cup rice cooker is nice to have, but nothing too exciting. The rice on the bottom always gets burnt, which isnt exactly what I would want. It not bad, just not wonderful. I thought it would be a great help to me in the kitchen, but i still prefer to make rice the way I used to before I got this. I have a different rice cooker, that is an 8 cup one, it is a much better one. Much easier to clean and the rice comes out good. The salton is only ok. ...

I have worked for a lady which was moving, and she gave me a rice cooker, which I never owned. So, I tried it and I liked the way my rice turned out perfect. I think this is a nice gadget for the kitchen. It is a black and decker rice cooker plus. Yes I would try others.

flossiesmom says "Makes a HUGE mess while cooking" about Salton RA3 3-Cup Rice Cooker

This cooker does make very fluffy rice that doesn't stick together. However, it spurts gooey liquid out the top while cooking. You must put something on the counter to catch the goo which seens to be starch from the rice. The rice also took longer to cook than in a regular pot on the stove....
